During National Minority Mental Health Month, help raise awareness in your organization or community. Encourage your family, friends, loved ones and clients to learn more about improving mental health and illness.

Mental Health Disparities

Minorities are less likely to receive diagnosis and treatment for their mental illness, have less access to and availability of mental
health services and often receive a poorer quality of mental health care.

The purpose of the Communities Addressing Childhood Trauma (ACT) program is to test the effectiveness of innovative approaches in promoting healthy behaviors among minority and/or disadvantaged youth at-risk for poor health and life outcomes due to childhood trauma.
